Round 1

Picks 17-32
17. Bengals: Mike Green, DE, Marshall

Smaller End prospect who excelled after a smaller school transfer. Ossai was resigned but Hubbard(retired), Murphy(no factor) and Hendrickson likely to be traded. The Bengals usually overlook questionable pasts involving talented players.


18. Seahawks: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

They don't have much on the interior for a team planning to run first. Membou could start inside as a need and float outside when either T spot opens up. Zabel feels to high here as a true interior lineman.


19. Buccaneers: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

His combine helped him to keep climbing up draft boards. TB doesn't have much at the position.


20. Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Feels like a ready made #2. Engram signing coupled with this pick gives Nix needed weaponry


21. Steelers: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

A better interior presence is needed with age becoming a factor.


22. Chargers: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Big DT prospect who shows athleticism for his size. WR/TE and CB remain needs.


23. Packers: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

CB is a big roster need. Barron may be better off inside but comes without the injuries that some of his other draft peers have


24. Vikings: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

Another team with CB needs after a mass exodus paired with a few signings. Morrison or Ravel could be the choice if injury isn't a concern. Minnesota has the least picks so I expect a trade back and still get one of these three prospects


25. Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

They have dismantled their line pretty quickly. Their Guard play needed replacing anyway. If Simmons checks out at his pro day, I can see him flirting with being taken in the top 10-15 picks.


26. Rams: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

Probably a better prospect than the WRs at this point DB remains a top need.


27. Ravens: Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State

They lost Mekari and Jackson could be a limited injury replacement for Stanley. DL could use some youth or upgrades.


28. Lions: Donovan Ezeiruaku, OLB, Boston College

Smaller Edge but ridiculous wingspan for 6'2. A future running mate for Hutchinson if not this year.


29. Commanders: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

A versatile, smart DB who can help fix their leaky pass D.


30. Bills: James Pearce Jr., DE/OLB, Tennessee

Character concerns has dropped him off some boards. Talent keeps him in the first. A injury replacement for Bosa. DB and DT are needs as well


31. Chiefs: Walter Nolen, DT, Texas A&M

Nolen is all over the place in mock drafts. Playing next to Jones and on a perennial winner could unlock his upside.


32. Eagles: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Tough to crack the lineup as is. A swing Tackle/guard option until Johnson moves on.
